Pune FC completed its foreign-player quota with the acquisition of Australian attacker James Meyer for the upcoming 2013-14 season. Meyers inclusion makes him the second player from Australia at the club over the years,apart from bringing along the experience of being a part of a two-time A-League champion side Brisbane Roar. Last season,Pune FC signed striker Boima Karpeh,a naturalised Australian,on loan.

Twenty-seven-year-old Meyer,who signed under the Asian-quota,forms the overseas quartet along with Douhou Pierre,Raul Fabiani and Calum Angus.

Pune FC head of operations,Chirag Tanna said,We are delighted to have signed James. He is a versatile player,who has invaluable experience. Not only has he played for the A-League,but also the Asian Champions League.

Meyer said he hoped to be successful at the club,helping the team to as many victories was his priority. It is a new challenge and I am up for it. Personal goals are secondary,but I will like to score as many goals as possible, he said. The I-League is a growing side and quality foreigners are needed. Hopefully,I can bring something to Indian football and encourage the local children.
